Running back A.J. Dillon spent four seasons with the Green Bay Packers before signing a one-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles in March. 
However, based on his recent remarks about the Tush Push ban controversy, he's already embracing the Philly mentality.
"Funny enough, I do a podcast with my brother-in-law and he's here in Green Bay, where we started it, and I was giving him a lot of flak for that," Dillon said, via NBC Sports. "You ban a play just because it works really well? How about you come up with a play to stop it?
"Week 10 (Packers vs. Eagles) will be interesting. That will be a lot of fun and a lot of smack talking going on for sure."
Dillon, 26, was a second-round pick of Green Bay in the 2020 NFL Draft. Before missing 2024 with his neck injury, Dillon had logged 597 carries for 2428 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns in four seasons. He also reeled in 86 receptions for 763 receiving yards and two more scores.
Will the Tush Push Be Banned?
The biggest question of the NFL offseason right now is: Will the Tush Push be banned?
The proposed ban is supposedly about player safety, which is kind of odd considering there’s barely any real evidence that the play is dangerous.
Still, the debate over the Tush Push continues and will remain front and center until the owners meet this upcoming week.
At present, 16 teams support banning or modifying the play, but the NFL requires 24 votes to pass any rule change.
According to ESPN’s top NFL insider, Adam Schefter, if Roger Goodell wants those remaining eight votes, he’ll get them.
“I think if we go and we parse through what the NFL commissioner, Roger Goodel,l told reporters at his post-league meeting press conference, I think it became pretty apparent that he and others want the tush push out of the game," Schefter said.
"There are 16 votes that they've gotten. 16 teams willing to overturn the Tush Push and have it banned."The league needs 24 votes. And Roger Goodell is a master at getting the votes he needs for the issues he wants... Rest assured, they're going to be working to get those 24 votes before the main meeting in Minneapolis. And I believe, ultimately, they will get them."
We’ll find out soon enough the ultimate fate of the Tush Push when the league meetings start on May 20.
